Submitting Personal Memories

Globe Santa could not have grown and sustained over 53 years without the families, children, staff, volunteers, and generous donors who have been part of delivering on the promise each year during the holidays. Globe Santa is all about people who share in the giving.

In 1956 Globe Santa delivered packages to 6,200 families and by 2008 the families had grown to 30,268. The generosity of donors has funded the program throughout the years from $51,000 in 1956 to $1,301,858 in 2008. And the Boston Globe has paid all of the overhead expenses so that 100% of every dollar given goes directly to purchase and deliver the holiday gifts to the children.

2,543,940 children have submitted letters to Globe Santa since 1956.
